Master of Education

Whether or not you currently teach in a classroom, Trinity has a Master of Education degree program to meet your needs. Credentialed classroom teachers can pursue their M.Ed. in the Literacy & Reading program, or in the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program (TESOL). If you do not have your teaching credential (e.g., educators in trade organizations, education advocates), Trinity offers an Educating for Change program to suit your needs.

All of Trinity’s M.Ed. programs are designed for educators who wish to pursue an advanced degree in curriculum and instruction; further, all are accredited by NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.

Trinity’s convenient course schedule of seminar-style evening and weekend classes is perfect for busy education professionals. With smaller average class sizes, and a dedicated faculty, Trinity offers you a level of one-on-one support not found at larger institutions.
